TPF TALKS with Tee Max

TPF TALKS is a platform where photographers share their journey, a selection of their work & some tips for emerging creatives who are navigating the industry.

We have created this space to encourage the next generation of photographers and creatives to be part of the conversation, build their networks, and create space for themselves in the industry.

Each event, we amplify the voice of a different photographer, from fashion photographers to photo journalists. Each event will include:

• A photographer sharing their work and journey into photography - followed by an audience Q&A!
• Space to network & connect with other photographers and creatives
• An opportunity to speak to staff & trainees about our Training Programme
• A chance to look around our studio & browse our photo books and zines
• Refreshments and table-tennis, to create a welcoming & informal atmosphere

This month, we are delighted to be joined by photojournalist & cultural spokesperson, Tee Max.

Tee Max started taking pictures through his love of Hip Hop in the 90’s; documenting many of the era's most celebrated and influential musical figures including, Prince, Nas, Outkast, Destiny’s Child and Erykah Badu, as well as some of the decades most important cultural moments and events. Through shooting concerts and taking portraits, his work was featured in influential underground music publications & mainstream broadsheet titles.

After ten years looking through the lens, Tee put down the camera to step in front of the it! He co-hosted TV and radio shows, provided cultural guidance on factual TV programmes for the BBC & went into music management, before stepping away from media completely in 2004.

Join us to find out what he's up to now, and to hear Tee's advice of navigating the industry, and finding your own voice within it.
